Among: the improvements at the !ase ball park this season is a new bridge that is being placed over the drainage ditch north of the park to peimit the automobile owners who de sire to attend the games to drive into the park without getting their cars all eve. mud and dirt. This will be a much appreciated change, as hereto fore it has been necessary to run the machines through the mud and water in the ditch in order to reach the park, and this has caused a great deal of annoyance to the drivers and owners of the automobiles. The work on the bridge will be pushed to try and have it ready for the game Sunday. Notice. Do your umbrellas need repair and covered? I am here again.

DUMPING RUBBISH AND OLD CANS IN VIOLATION OF LAW GIVEN ATJTHE m uui y I Saturday Evening, PAY I st Good Music, a Good Time and Good Order Assured! Gents 50c -( ADMISSION y Ladies Free IE Music by Plattsmouth Orchestra fL 1 21 -4 Several years ago the city in augurated a crusade against the dumping of rubbish and old cans and other refuse on the bottom lands east of the city and restricted the dump ing of such refuse to' the dry chan nel of the river east of the roadway, It seems that for some time past parties have been violating this edict of the city by piling all manner of rubbish along the east side of the automobile road leading to the Mis souri river ferry, and fifty or sixty feel inside of the limit set by the city. This- pile of refuse is plainly visible from the Burlington depot and is very unsightly in the extreme to those driving into the city along the road way and a stop should be put at once to the practice and the violators made to understand that they cannot dump their rubbish at will over the bottom, as if it is continued it will only be a sl.ort time until the refuse is piled aloi-g the roadway in great heaps. The matter is one that should receive the prompt attention of the city authorities and those violating the order of the city shown where to get off at. CASTOR I A For Infants and Children. Tbs Kind Yea Have Always Bougfit Bears thm CUgnatoxwof The following taken from the April edition of the Trans-Mississippi Elk, the official paper of the Nebraska State association, in speaking of the Elks' Male Chorus surely shows the value of the organization that will ap pear here on Friday evening, May 7th. in concert, and while the program used at the Omaha concert will be changed in several items, it shows the high class of music used by the chorus. The program in this city will be interspersed with a number of the lighter airs, which are very popular at the present time: The Minneapolis Glee club, stopping over in Omaha one day last July, homeward bound from the grand lodge meeting in Denver, inspired the organization of the Omaha Elks' Glee club. Simultaneously with the birth of that inspiration, and most oppor tunely for its furtherance and de velopment, Professor Alexander Emslie, a musical instructor and vocal conductor of many years' ex perience, came to Omaha from Colo rado, and became associated with the Omaha Conservatory of Music. He is an Elk and it became immediately evident that the man and the oppor tunity were here simultaneously. Car roll II. Wright became the organizer. He worked under all kinds of dif ficulties, but he persisted until ho rounded up the required number of first and second tenors and first and second basses. Then the rehearsals commenced and the process of elimi nation followed, necessitating the se curing of new members in place of those who withdrew for various causes. Kenearsai woik tanes rime and is necessarily severe, and it is the rock upon. which many glee clubs split hopelessly. But the Omaha Elks were game, and they stood every acid test to which they were subjected. coming lortn nnaiiy as one oi me most promising, singing organiza tions, considering the few brief weeks of rehearsals that they had, in the entire western country. They made their first public ap pearance at the Elk memorial service n the Orpheum theater Sunday, De cember G, 1914. Their work at that time, after only a very few rehearsals, was good and while it was not par ticularly remarkable, it was very promising. So they kept on faithful ly, tirelessly, but enthusiastically with their rehearsals under the strict dis cipline of Professor Emslie. There were skeptics among the on- ookers of the Omaha Elks. Th?y were not many in numbers, but they were quite insistive that the glee club proposition would never work out. Thase "doubting Thomases" have been won over to the supporters of the singers until now it is safe to say that ihey have the undivided support of the entire Omaha lodge. They have sung occasionally at the Elk lodge meetings. At the funeral of our late brother, William T. Can ada, in the lodge room on Easter Sun day, they sang "Nearer My Cod to Thee." "Absent," and "The Vacant Chair," in so soft, sweet, soothing tones, as to go direct to the hearts of everv Derson present, winning the commendation of all. In the meantime they changed their name to the Omaha Elks' Male chorus As such they determined to go to the grind lodge meeting at Los Angeles next July, just as the Minneapolis singers went to Denver last July. This was a big undertaking, too large for the lodge to finance out of the funds It was too expensive a trip for some of the singers to pay out of their own pockets. Therefore the members of the chorus decided to give a concert in the Brandeis theater Friday even ing, April 9th. The call that they made on the members of the lodge to buy tickets met with generous re sponse, insuring them a large and profitable audience. The program was as follows: Soldiers' Chorus ( Faust) .... Gounod Elks' Male Chorus.

For a number of years past the Brooklyn "Apollo," at its annual din ner and other social gatherings, ha-; been in the habit of singing, for them selves and their guests, tho two fol lowing characteristic tenor and bass songs in friendly competition.. It has been found impossible to im partially determine to which sedio.i of the club the award should be given. The problem is, therefore,' f ubmitied to other clubs and to the pi;Mie.

"Twenty well groomed young men with carefully trained voices per formed perfectly, and their hund"eds of friends out in the front of th? houe were liberal with applause.

Subscribe for The JournaL THE WORK OF SEWER AGE TO BE STARTED ON WASHINGTON AVENUE The decision of the city to start the stoim sewer proposition by opening up the work of fixing up the Wash ington avenue sewer and extending it a block this season will ba the source of gratification to all parties in that section of the city, as the work has been needed for years, and with the placing of the sewer entrance a block farther un the street will lessen ma teiiully the chances of the sewer not being able to carry o!F the flood water after one of our heavy rains. The extension of the sewer will also add greatly to the value of the property along the avenue and make several practically worthless lots along the pathway of the creek as desirable as any. This has for years been one of the problems of the city that has handi capped them in assisting that portion of the city located along the creek on both Chicago and Washington ave nues, and the creation of the levy for tho purpose of sewer extension which will allow of one block being built each year will soon dispose of the creek question. Each side of the city, it is figured, will share alternately in the work of sewer extension, the north side having it this year and the south side next year, and so on until the work is completed and the addition to the sewerage system of the city will take avray the creekbed that for years has extended through the best part of the city, making much of the prop erty worthless. Get behind the im provement and urge it as one of the best steps undertaken by the city in years.
